Abstract

A fan blade includes an arch-shaped body, a connecting portion, at least one sheet and at least one reinforcement component. The arch-shaped body has a pressure bearing surface and a negative pressure surface opposite to the pressure bearing surface. The connecting portion is connected to a first end portion of the arch-shaped body. The sheet is connected to the pressure bearing surface or the negative pressure surface. The reinforcement component is connected to the pressure bearing surface. An orthogonal projection of the sheet on the arch-shaped body and an orthogonal projection of the reinforcement component on the arch-shaped body are not overlapped with each other. A fan is also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fan, comprising:
a hub; and
a plurality of fan blades, arranged around a periphery of the hub, and each of the fan blades comprising:
an arch-shaped body, having a pressure bearing surface and a negative pressure surface opposite to the pressure bearing surface;
a connecting portion, connected to a first end portion of the arch-shaped body, and the arch-shaped body being connected to the hub through the connecting portion;
at least one sheet, connected to the pressure bearing surface or the negative pressure surface; and
at least one reinforcement component, connected to the pressure bearing surface, wherein an orthogonal projection of the at least one sheet on the arch-shaped body and an orthogonal projection of the at least one reinforcement component on the arch-shaped body are not overlapped with each other, a rigidity of the at least one reinforcement component is greater than a rigidity of the at least one sheet, wherein a part of the at least one sheet is located on the connecting portion and inserted into the hub.

2. The fan as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one sheet of each of the fan blades is connected to the pressure bearing surface and extends from the arch-shaped body to a surface of the connecting portion which is connected to the pressure bearing surface.

3. The fan as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one sheet of each of the fan blades is connected to the negative pressure surface and is located at a second end portion of the arch-shaped body which is opposite to the first end portion.

4. The fan as recited in claim 1 , wherein a number of the at least one sheet of each of the fan blades is two, one of the two sheets is connected to the pressure bearing surface and extends from the arch-shaped body to a surface of the connecting portion which is connected to the pressure bearing surface, another one of the two sheets is connected to the negative pressure surface and is located at a second end portion of the arch-shaped body which is opposite to the first end portion.

5. The fan as recited in claim 4 , wherein, in each of the of fan blades, an orthogonal projection of the one of the sheets on the arch-shaped body and an orthogonal projection of the another one of the sheets on the arch-shaped body are not overlapped with each other.

6. The fan as recited in claim 1 , wherein a number of the at least one reinforcement component of each of the fan blades is plural and the reinforcement components are stacked on the pressure bearing surface.
